Table A Major in the Media and Communications degree

To earn a major in a subject area (from Table A) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, students will complete 36 senior credit points in that subject area. Please note that the Media requirements change from year to year.

You can fit in another major, in addition to the required one, as long as you plan your subject choices very carefully.

Please note: students commencing in 2014 and beyond must include a minimum of 6 credit points of senior-advanced (3000 level) units of study in their chosen major(s). You must view the unit of study tables in the handbook for the chosen major(s) for further information. Students commencing their degree prior to 2014 you are not necessarily required to complete a senior-advanced unit in the chosen major(s) unless otherwise instructed to do so.

Internship

Usually in fourth year, you will be required to do an internship and a project on your internship in either Semester 1 and 2. The Media and Communications department will give you information about how to arrange this internship when the time comes.
